thoughts on red waistcoat with formal jacket?

[CollinMacD]

Kinsman, do you think you’d wear it with a black jacket? I saw that kinloch Anderson sells navy blue but I thought it might not be formal enough in modern times.

Usakilts sells a scarlet regulation doublet with waistcoat. I suspect that if I ordered a black doublet from them, they could get me a scarlet waistcoat too.

I wear it with a black Sheriffmuir Jacket and Waistcoat for the Modern Dress MacDonald, Clanranald. With the MacDonald, Clanranald Ancient, I normally wear the Argyll Jacket with black waistcoat. Using the red will mix it up a little with both tartans since a bright red is used in both. When using formal wear, I like to stay with the traditional black, with black bowtie. But I do like the red waistcoat a lot.

Cheers.
